<p>Comcast and NBCUniversal will serve as a leading media partner for the PSA campaign, contributing $1.5 million in national airtime on its Xfinity TV cable systems and bringing this important message to more than 20 million homes over the next year. </p>
<p>Jones is best known for her role on the hit ABC series <em>Castle</em>, and in the spot says she's known for her strong opinions, which is why she wants to come out as "an ally for equality and strong opinions everywhere."
